cartwheels { QuickTime } The lyrics to Cartwheels were written for my daughter Jesse Paris Smith. Jesse accompanies me on piano on the title song trampin'. It marks her recording debut. Jesse, like her brother Jackson, displays the musical gifts and poise of her late father, Fred 'Sonic' Smith. Come my one, look at the world Bird beast butterfly Girls sing notes of heaven Birds lift them up to the sky Spring is departing Spring is departing Her thoughts are darting like a rabbit Like a rabbit 'cross the moon Shines of light over your hair As boys croon Pretty in pink It makes me wonder What could ever bring you down I see tears falling From those eyes of brown Hearing a voice, you turn your head You vanish into the mist Of your thoughts And I Want to grasp What brings you down Open up those eyes of brown The world is changing Your heart is growing Hearing a voice you turn your head Girls turn by ones, by twos Notes pour bad and tender Eradicate your blues The good world The good world Come my one, look around you Bird, beast, butterfly Girls sing notes from heaven Birds lift them up to the sky I see brown eyes That see girls turning Girls turning Cartwheels The good world The good whirl The good world The good whirl Come my one, look at your world Don't let it bring you down Come on open for me Those eyes of brown I see girls turning Cartwheels Cartwheels Cartwheels Cartwheels Written by Patti Smith and Lenny Kaye © 2004 Druse Music Inc.
